Hibernian offers 40% costs cut to learner drivers

PROVISIONAL licence holders can save up to 40% on motor insurance costs if they pass a one-day driving test set up by Hibernian insurance company.

Hibernian said motorists will be able to get a reduction of up to 40% on their annual insurance premium if they pass the one-day training course, available under an expansion of the company’s Ignition scheme to provisional drivers.

The company says there is backlog of provisional drivers, up to 380,000, who have to wait more than a year to sit their test and are being penalised with huge insurance costs.
